Prior to this class, I have set some objectives that i would like the students to achieve:

 1.      To enable students to learn how to use subject verb agreement  correctly.

2.         To encourage students to speak in English without pressure.

To achieve this , I have planned to play three games in the class.

b.Each group sent a representative to act out the noun and action  drawn in the box. After the group members guess the answer correctly. The representative is required to construct a sentence using the noun and verb. [David Beckham plays football very well]

d. The group that get the most correct answers in seven minutes will win the game.

e. Next, another representative from the group is required to draw out the noun and action drawn from the box.After the group members guess the answer correctly. The representative is required to construct a sentence using the noun and verb. 

f.The group that get the most correct answers in seven minutes will win the game.

ii.      Two pictures by two pairs will be picked randomly.

iii.       One person from each pair will have to come to the front.

Language Camp A (Post)

It was a great experience joining the language camp. I was exposed to many things I probably didn't realize this whole time. The students also taught me to be, patient, very patient. I also have to keep on being hyped to make them participate in all the activities. They were already feeling restless and wanting to move around. Although there may be a few minor problems occurred, the camp went well and the facilitators worked hard. A thing that crossed my mind is that we should have someone to refer to when something unexpected happened during the camp. For someone who lacks experience (and knowledge) like me, really need a guide. So it is preferable to have couple of meetings before the camp so that we can be more prepared.

Language Camp A (During)

Moving on to the day where the language camp took place. We went to SMK Masai 2 early in the morning and when we arrived there, the students were already done with their registration and were waiting for us in the hall. The first thing that we do is to get on stage to introduce ourselves and did a little bit of stretching. Then we settled into our groups for the first activity which is 'ice breaking'. At this moment it turns out that these kids are so shy to speak. They would talk but it sounds like they were whispering. And I thought that I have to push myself to make them feel comfortable to talk and also participate in the activities. Thankfully we got along after that, however, they seemed to be more comfortable speaking in Bahasa. It's a good thing that we have to keep being motivated throughout the program although in certain situations, I felt kind of dreadful when things does not go according to plan. I have to accept there are certain things that was out of my control. But Alhamdulillah, the language camp went smoothly that day. Everything went well for the rest of us too.
